FEATURED IN:
You've built a successful life.
Your nervous system never got the memo.
You work hard, show up for the people who matter, and keep moving forward, even when it feels difficult. Yet anxiety, panic, chronic stress, or the lasting effects of trauma continue to affect your relationships, your self-esteem, and your ability to fully show up in your life.
You replay conversations long after they're over.
You say "yes" when you wanted to say "no."
You find yourself doomscrolling, searching for answers, or looking for reassurance, even though you know it isn't helping.
You've spent time in therapy, understand where these patterns come from, and can explain why you feel this way, yet you still find yourself reacting in the same ways.
You're ready for things to finally change.
If that sounds familiar, and you still find yourself repeating in the same cycles, another approach may be a better fit.
My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy.
Using EMDR, somatic therapy, art therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, we'll help your mind and body heal from the experiences still keeping you stuck.
Instead of only understanding why you feel this way, we'll focus on helping your mind and body process unresolved experiences, shift long-standing patterns, and create meaningful changes you can feel in your everyday life.

Specialties
Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you're looking for an approach that goes deeper than insight alone, these services are designed to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Therapy for Anxiety and Panic
You're constantly overthinking, worrying second-guessing yourself, or waiting for something to go wrong. Even when life seems calm, your mind and body stay on high alert.
Together, we'll help you move beyond anxiety so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more present in your everyday life.
Trauma &Complex PTSD Therapy
Certain memories, experiences, or relationships continue to shape how you think, feel, and respond, even years later. You may look like you're doing fine while carrying more than others realize.
If your experiences feel layered or long-standing, EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches can help you process the past, strengthen your sense of self, and move forward with greater confidence and freedom.
Therapy for Burnout and Emotional Overwhelm
You're exhausted from always pushing through. The pressure keeps building, and it feels harder to reconnect with yourself or enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.
Together, we'll create space to recover, restore your energy, and move forward with greater balance.
Meet Your Therapist
I've been there. Building a career, trying to keep relationships healthy, meeting everyone's expectations, and carrying emotions that felt too heavy to make sense of on my own. That experience shaped the therapist I am today and showed me the value of approaches that create lasting, meaningful change.
As a native New Yorker, I created Lenora to help adults across New York move beyond anxiety, trauma, and overwhelm through EMDR therapy, art therapy, and somatic therapy. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand yourself more deeply, so change feels sustainable in everyday life.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
I understand the pressure to hold it all together.
Many of my clients are high-achieving adults balancing demanding careers, graduate school, relationships, family expectations, or caregiving while privately struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or the lasting effects of trauma.
We focus on the root of the problem.
I integrate EMDR therapy, art therapy, and somatic therapy to help you understand why certain patterns keep showing up, process what's been keeping you stuck, and create meaningful, lasting change.
You'll get an active, collaborative therapist.
I'll ask thoughtful questions, share observations, teach practical tools, and help you connect the dots. One thing I hear often is, "I needed to hear that." Clients often leave sessions feeling more embodied, with a clearer understanding of themselves, practical strategies they can use between sessions, and a path forward that feels more manageable.
